Graeme , don't be bullied by the big boys , stand your ground with them has they put the restrictions on (for obvious reasons) I would go for taking all your side out and then let them deal with there side and height.

I agree with some of wot u said about not getting bullied.

Hopefully these contactors could keep u right and advise u, they will get paid off NR just the same as u.

Mibbe send them a photo or 2 to save them coming out i'm sure they could advise u from that. I'd be dead against paying for it as u don't pay the power boys when they come to cut round there wires sort of same thing. There safety standard not ur's

 

Assuming ur tree surgeon has said trees look healthy etc (look healthy enough in photo) there is no immediate risk or hurry, take ur time and try and get it sorted but don't be rushed

 

I wouldnae side ur side up the trees on ur side as if it drags on will look horrible and if ever there was a freak wind the wrong way and a tree went over the line it could be blamed on u sideing tree up and leaving all the wieght on the dangerous railway side.

Thanks all for the advice and comments, there's much food for thought! I'll mull it over for a few days and then make a decision.

 

Regards,
